The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 193

3rd Person

It had been only too easy.

Paisley had known that getting herself put in time out would give her the space she needed to escape, though she couldn’t deny how good it had felt to shout her rage at that stupid Devon. She didn’t care how nice or funny he was, he wasn’t her Daddy, and she didn’t want anything to do with him. She did feel badly for upsetting her Mommy and the other pups, but Ethan had taught her that sometimes you have to make very hard decisions in order to do the right thing.

Sometimes you even have to hurt the people you love to protect them.

Paisley had been watching the cars driving in and out of the rest area, and when Jane turned her back, the clever pup swiftly ran to one of the vehicles traveling back south. She climbed into the back seat of a car belonging to an elderly couple, covering her small body with a blanket. She prayed and prayed that they would leave quickly, and for once the Goddess was on her side. The car pulled out of the parking lot just as she heard Jane begin to cry out her name.

By the time her Mommy had informed the others that Paisley was missing, she was speeding down the highway, on the way back to her Daddy.

When Ethan’s phone rang and Jane’s name appeared on the screen, he dried his tears and cleared his throat, hoping he wouldn’t sound too emotional when he answered. “Hello?”

“Ethan?” As soon as he heard Jane’s frantic, terrified voice, he sat up at attention.

“Jane, what’s wrong?” He demanded, already regretting letting his family out of his sight. He should have gone with them! He shouldn’t have let them make the journey alone, his injuries be damned!

“It’s P-Paisley.” Jane cried, hiccupping through her tears. “She’s m-missing.”

“What do you mean she’s missing?” He hissed. “What happened?”

“She was so upset and we stopped at a rest stop. She’s been throwing tantrums all morning so I put her in time out. I swear I only turned my back for a second and she was gone!” Jane explained, sobbing so violently she could barely get the words out.
